Subject:      stumble at 1/4 tank or so
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


Hey


I don't know if I'm imagining this or not, but my '87 Syncro seems to run
better with a full tank than with 1/4th or less of a tank.  At low engine
speeds it seems to stumble and hesitate before it hits it's stride and
begins to pull strongly.  I tend to be light-footed, and notice that if I
just stomp on it, it takes off just fine.  What I have is very subtle
stumbling or hesitation as I slowly accelerate.


I can go quite a distance below a 1/4 tank, so know my gas guage is
reasonably accurate, or at least I know that the stumbling is not because
I'm running out of gas.


Any thoughts?


Raymond
